Veterinary science
What’s on offer for postgraduates?
Veterinary science is one of the smallest, most exclusive and most enclosed of all fields of study.
At postgraduate level most of its customers share a common background and motivation to study — they are veterinary science graduates and practitioners using further study to upgrade or specialise within their chosen field.
Professional development and the upgrade of skills are highly regarded in the vet science profession and postgraduate study may contribute to ongoing education requirements for professional membership.
A high proportion of the small group of vet science postgraduates is undertaking research. Areas of specialisation may include tropical animal science, animal genetics, diagnostic imagery, nutrition, equine or avian health.
